Additional Information:
This is a beautiful tassel holder used on the fez of the Mystic Order
of the Shrine. I have shown two pictures of my own personal fez for
examples only. My fez is not for sale.
This pin has a total of 55 rhinestones set in gold-toned
metal.
There are 43 clear rhinestones, 4 green rhinestones and 8 red
rhinestones. The pinback is in perfect working order.
The Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, commonly
known as Shriners and abbreviated as A.A.O.N.M.S., was established in
1870.
Shriners International is a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the
Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. There are
approximately 375,000 members from 191 temples (chapters) in the U.S.,
Canada, Mexico and the Republic of Panama.
Shriners International support Shriners Hospitals for Children, a
one-of-a-kind international health care system of 22 hospitals
dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing specialty
pediatric care, innovative research and outstanding teaching programs.
Since 1922, Shriners Hospitals for Children have significantly improved
the lives of more than 865,000 children.
Any person who holds the title of Master Mason in Freemasonry, is
qualified to be a Shriner.
This will make a wonderful gift for that Shriner in your life!
